1. Free trade has enslaved workers.

Or, kill free trade agreements.

Free trade has destroyed the working class.


I'm starting to see a pattern.

[Greybnk48]

2. I like "Elections not Actions."

Maybe some quotes from Dylan Rattigan's rant. I don't particularly like him, but I sure like what he said the other day.

[Luminous Animal]

5. What does "Elections Not Actions" even mean?

[KansDem]

3. My contribution...

"Funny? I don't remember the name 'ALEC' being on the ballot?"

Reminds us of just how beholden Congress is to corporations.

[Terry in Austin]

4. "The Game is Rigged and Now It's Up" or...

* Gov't By the Rich -- We Do Not Consent

* Capitalism Doesn't Work -- Neither Do Capitalists

* The CEO Has No Clothes

* Bankers Do It For Money

* Invisible Hand, Visible Finger

* Nationalize Money

* Public Banks Now!

* Plutocracy is Un-American

* There's Too Much Interest in Capitalism

[Lost-in-FL]

[Cal Carpenter]

9. We Are All Greeks!

The System Isn't 'Broken' - It Was Built This Way

10. "Foreclose THIS"

[madamesilverspurs]

11. How about

It's
We the People
not
We the Money

[Vincardog]

12. If corporations are people why can't they be charged with murder?

[IDemo]

13. "Buddy can you spare 23 Trillion$ ?"

Picture of the bankster of your choice and whatever the most accurate figure is for the bailout.

[DFW]

Our banks say:

[FarLeftFist]

17. Hey brother, can you spare a utopian worldview?

[FarLeftFist]

18. Bailout the people: Corps are not the economy, people are.

[chaska]

19. Here's a list of sign slogans I've seen at protests...:

I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one.

The 1% got rich riding on my back.

America isn't broke, it's broken.

Due to recent budget cuts, the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off.

I can't afford my own politician, so I made this sign.

Global revolution: too big to fail.

Support the re-generation.

Promote the general welfare, not corporate welfare.

I am not your ATM.

Capitalism is organized crime.

The police are tools of the rich.

We are not hippie slackers. We are "the people".

THESE are citizens united.

Revolution is inevitable. Why not now?

Can you hear me now?

I inherited money at 21. I have had health and dental insurance all my life. I want to live in a world where we all have enough. I have more than enough. Tax me! Rich kid for Redistribution! I am the 1%. I stand with the 99%.

20. No taxation without proper representation

STOP the multitrillion-dollar Wall Street crime wave

*The 99% gets taxation without representation

21. My 1st attempt...

[Gregorian]

22. if you can condense this, I think you've got the whole message

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

[county worker]

23. How's this?

We the 99% Support:
Justice
Domestic Tranquility
Common Defense
General Welfare
Liberty now and in the future


When some tea bagger comes to fight that I'll hand him/her a copy of the preamble to the Constitution.

I love the idea of how almost no one will even know that it's the foundation of our nation.

I don't want to say I told you so, but...

Did you know there are guillotine plans on the internet?

Tar and feathers: still made in America.

There's no problem here that can't be fixed with pitchforks and torches.

Reagan was an idiot.

These boots were made for marchin'!

We will build a wall between gov't and corporations.

Now is the time for all good (wo)men to come to the aid of their country.

The time is now.

No more hoping, get off your ass and change this shit.

I've been waiting 30 years for this. I WILL NOT LOSE.

No home, no phone, no motor car, not a single luxury. And nothing left to lose, motherfucker.

Bring the troops home.
Bring the jobs home.
Bring the truth home.

Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come.
